I highly recommend this anthology to anyone feeling frustration, rage, and more in this current world. I’ll leave you with a few excerpts:
“real girlhood begins when rage does.� -Valeria Eden
“So every little girl grows sharp fangs
To gnaw her way through the bars
Of their gilded cage of purity.� -Danielle Salerno
“This wasn’t her fault. She was not to blame for wanting to exist.� -H.T. Doig
“Our collective rage is infinite and ethereal…and now it’s free.� -Sunny J Rowley
“Infinite ethereal rage is nothing compared to the power of infinite ethereal hope.� -Sunny J Rowley
“For the one who finds this, heed our warning; he will grow tired of your parts. For they are made of the women who could never love him.� -Sabrina Voerman
“Sometimes, the cavalry does not come for maidens in towers. But, perhaps, the maiden is glad of it because she has found a different kind of invulnerability.� -Julia Greenshaw

Biased because I’m part of this but still RAWR

If y'all are aware of what's happening in the dumpster fire of a country right now and you're *angry*, definitely pick this up.
Call me biased since I have a short story in this anthology, but everyone who contributed is so fricken' talented and amazing. By the time I finished reading the last story, I had experienced a tumultuous roller coaster of emotions that left me staring into space, wondering what to do with myself.
I'm so honored I get to be in an anthology with so many awesome authors.

Am I reviewing an anthology I got to take part in? YES, shut up.
If you're angry at the state of things you-know-where🦅, this will get you wanting to rip the world apart.
The storytellers in this anthology—of both poems and short stories—are talented. It made me sad. Made me mad. Made me go hell yeah.
